The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 505

Brilliantly colored koi glided through the water, their scales flashing beneath the surface a mesmerizing sight.

Citrine gazed at the fish, then down at the small black pill in her palm. Suddenly, a smile curved her lips.

Talbot and Scales were so shocked they both shot to their feet.

Scales nearly lost his breath. Pointing a trembling finger at Citrine, he managed, "She... she just fed the Vitaflux to the fish!"

"That was Vitaflux! That pill alone is worth a fortune-and she just fed it to the fish?"

"She may have invented Vitaflux, but that's just reckless."
